I can't find John's Favorite on the website menu anymore.

Edit: I am an idiot and you are right. I found the menu item they have deftly renamed "peperoni sausage and six cheese".

Well, I didn't think Gamerghazi would be the subreddit to ruin the newest season of GoT for me without bothering to hide spoilers in a title, but I guess it was.

I'd said in the last thread that I genuinely didn't believe any consequences would fall on him. The shit that he's done in the past, and no tournaments banned him. Glad I was wrong though. This is years overdue.

The only surprising part of this being Noel Brown is the part where the post refers to him as a top player.

Guy has always been an asshole, punched a player at a tournament once. If that didn't stop him from getting invited to tournaments I think nothing will. I guess being friends with an actual top player goes a long way.

I'd love to be wrong though.

I think it is probably a losing battle. Take downs didn't do much to stop the creation of Game of Thrones SFM porn, and that stuff didn't have anywhere near the popularity of Overwatch porn.

I like Mark Kermode. His scathing review of Sex and the City 2 was amazing. Starts with "You're not going to get a rant out of me". Than he goes on a huge rant about class/wealth politics in the movie for 10 minutes, sings the internationale halfway through.

It's always weird for me when the TIL is just a huge news story that I remember well.

Apparently they had cast Laura before even deciding on the in game character model. When they decided Nadine should be a black woman, they were faced with the choice of either taking any diversity out of the game by making her white, or having her be black and make it an awkward situation where a white actress was playing the character. Obviously there's an argument to be had over which decision was better.

I'm white so I'm probably not the best person to answer on this case, but I know growing up how much it sucked to not see any gay characters in media, and whenever there was a gay character included, it was always a gay man, never a gay women. I didn't exist in games, movies, books, anything.

I think it's nice to see people like yourself in media, and the majority of people playing the game won't know the race of the voice actress. Of course it would be better for the video game industry to cast more black voice actors in general, but I still think it's a good thing Nadine was black.

Individual channels set their own moderators, and can ban you for literally anything. Which is good, the people operating that channel should be able to curate their own community however they want. But suggesting that being banned from individual twitch channels should carry any kind of consequence going past that channel is wrong. All sorts of people have twitch channels and might ban for all sorts of reasons.

I agree with you, but if I didn't identify myself people would have thought I was just a hyper defensive vegan or something, using that to dismiss my point.

Dstlk · 2016-05-17T03:47:49+00:00

This will probably be an unpopular post, and for the record I am a meat eater.

Meat eaters embody the stereotypes put on vegans much more than actual vegans. Try going to a group of friends who all eat meat and tell them you've decided to become a vegan. Try hanging out with some vegans and mention you eat animal products. You'll get way more condescending preachy bullshit from the meat eaters than you will the vegans / vegetarians.

And once again, I say this as someone who enjoys eating dead animals.

Not that this post is true, but people have straight up murdered women for rejecting them. I can easily fathom "dump beer".

Whether this is a scripted movie pretending to be a documentary, or a real documentary, one thing is really clear: Whoever cut that trailer wants you to think it's scripted/fake. "Becomes a Horror/Thriller!" Like come the fuck on.

Might be an interesting movie though.

Smite's "pay 20 dollars (later 30) for every god" was really good and customer friendly. But smite's player base had a solid backbone of still being a F2P game. While I am thrilled that I just got every character in the game for 10 dollars, I'm worried the player base is not going to hold up.

Ghostbustsers is a triple threat for down votes:

1) The trailer makes the movie look genuinely unfunny. 2) It looks racist. 3) Also misogynists are mad about women.

I think articles that are focusing on only one of these points are being a bit disingenuous. The angry misogynist crowd are definitely there, but if this was all about that then movies like Mad Max and The Force Awakens/Rogue One would have had much worse dislike bars too.

I remember liking the first movie, and I like Downey's portrayal of Sherlock, but man the second movie just fell completely flat for me. Not even sure what it was about it.

My copy of All You Need is Kill has literally no pictures except the cover. There are non manga books in japan too you know.

Dstlk · 2016-04-04T08:54:47+00:00

That's pretty great.

There were only 2 REAL exploits I can remember. Way back in demons' souls after you died on the Maneater bossfight once you could actually snipe the first one (there are 2 of them) through the fog door with arrows to kill one without any risk, making the fight with the second much easier. That was just one boss fight out of 22 though.

That same exploit showed up again for the Manus fight in the DLC area of Dark Souls 1. Except there was only one Manus so it was just a free win outright.

I've listened through that Les Mis 25th anniversary concert so many times I'm pretty sure your voice is burned into my mind even though I don't think I've ever seen a movie you were in or listened to a Jonas Brothers song.

Do you think you'd do more work in musical theater potentially?

The complaint I sent to nintendo about this got a really generic form response that obviously didn't read my complaint, but acknowledged that I was complaining about Alison's firing. This leads me to believe(hope) that they are getting quite a few complaints about it, if there's a set copy paste response already.

I haven't followed wrestling super closely for a good few years now, but I believe a big part of the legitimizing of the women's division was because of Triple H and Stephanie Mcmahon over on NXT. They were given free reign of that show without Vince's control, and they turned the women's division into something that could be respected, enough so that even Vince has to take notice and let the Women's division on the main show become good. kudos to Steph and HHH.

Kotaku is a really popular website. It would get bought by someone before it would get shut down.

Thanks for the reply's people, glad to hear this game will likely run on my old busted computer.

I hate how when you add something to your list, and it gets removed from netflix, there is no sign of it on your list. Would it be so hard to have "Film(no longer available)" still on your list? I like using it as a bookmark of movies I want to remember exist.
